Unfortunately it looks like many countries are heading to a social credit score to control the populace. The bad part of it is that the truly productive people are the ones being stifled. The non innovative followers will be favoured under such a system
The trucker protests in Ottawa last year revealed the lack of freedom in Canada. It also cemented the working class/entitled class division.
In Canada you can trespass on a railroad track for weeks protesting for native rights with no consequence. You can block the inner harbour in Vancouver so ships can’t pick up oil with no consequence. You can vandalize work camps on gas pipelines in the name of the environment with no consequence. But don’t donate to a trucker protesting a vaccine mandate or your bank account will be frozen.
I think the part that really bothered Justin and his cohorts was how organized, resilient and united the lower caste working class can be. Truck drivers could shut this country down within a week. I think the government got good and scared and had to use a big stick in the form of bank account seizures to keep everyone in line.
The next step from the government is to eliminate cash as legal tender, outlaw crypto currency and ban private ownership of gold and silver.
Then they will own you!
